My space

My space (previously stylized as my space and My-----) is a social networking service with a strong music emphasis owned by Specific Media LLC and pop music singer and actor Justin Timberlake. My space was launched in August 2003 and is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. In June 2012, my space had 25 million unique U.S. visitors.

In August 2003, several e Universe employees with Friendster accounts saw potential in its social networking features. The group decided to mimic the more popular features of the website. Within 10 days, the first version of My space was ready for launch, implemented using Cold Fusion. The project was overseen by Brad Green span (e Universe’s Founder, Chairman, CEO), Josh Berman, Tom Anderson (My space’s starting president), and a team of programmers and resources provided by e Universe.
My space allows users to customize their user profile pages by entering HTHL (but not Java Script) in to such areas as “About Me”, “I’d like to meet”, and “Interests”. Videos and flash- based content can de included this way. Users also have the option pages via my space Music, a service that allows bands to post songs for use on my space.

Bulletins are posts that are posted on to a “bulletin board” for everyone on a space user’s friends list to see. Bulletins can be useful for contacting an entire friends list without resorting to messaging users individually.
My space had a “Groups” feature that allowed a group of users to share a common page and message bored. Groups could be created by anybody, and the moderator of the group could choose for anyone to join, or to approve or deny requests to join.

In late 2003 Fin Lavelle encoded his personal music in to my space profile, becoming the first my space musician. My space profiles for musicians in the website’s my space Music section differ from normal profiles in allowing artists to upload their entire discographies consisting of MP3 songs.
Moods are small emoticons that are used to depict a mood the user is in. The feature was added in July 2007. The mood feature as of 2010 is not included by default with the status updates, but could be shared on the homepage as a separate update.

On March 10, 2010,  my space had some new features added like recommendation engine for new users which suggests games, music and videos based on their previous search habits. The security on my space was also accounted to, with the criticism of Face book, to make it a safer site.
In September 2010, my space continued to work on improving the website. A photos section was added and the photo flexor app was added to photos.
